Объяснение:

Изучение Африки европейцами — изучение Африки европейскими путешественниками. Знакомство европейцев с Африкой началось ещё в античности. Античные путешественники изучали Северную Африку; при этом собственно Африкой или Ливией считали континент за пределами Египта, который считался частью Азии. Исследования Африки южнее Сахары активно продолжились в эпоху географических открытий (начиная с XV в.). Основную роль играли португальские мореплаватели: так, Бартоломео Диас в 1488 году достиг Мыса Доброй Надежды, открыв морской путь в Индию и на Дальний восток. При этом знакомство с внутренней частью континента в XVI, XVII и первой половине XVIII вв. оставалось незначительным: основную роль в нём играли работорговцы. В начале XIX в. сведения европейцев об Африке южнее Сахары оставались незначительными. Исследования Южной Африки активно продолжались в 1830-1840 годах, и активно развивались во второй половине XIX вв. во время колониального дележа континента. Большую роль в этом процессе играли поиски истоков Нила.

1. The US is situated in the central part of the North American continent.

2. It is washed by the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

3. The weather is very different in the USA. The climate of the country varies greatly from arctic in Alaska, through continental in the central part to subtropical in the south. The coldest weather is in the north of the country (40 degrees below zero) in winter. The south has the subtropical climate with temperature 49 degrees above zero in summer.

4. The US scenery varies across the large country from tropical beaches in Florida to peaks in the Rocky Mountains, from rolling prairie lands and barren deserts in the West to dense wilderness areas in the Northeast and Northwest.

5. The population of the country is more than 325 million people.

6. The Great Lakes, the Grand Canyon, the majestic Yosemite Valley and Yellowstone National Park are the most famous places to enjoy the beauty and power of wild America.

7. The mighty rivers of America are the Mississippi River, the Missouri River and the Colorado River.

8. In the USA here are big mountain chains: the Appalachian Mountains, the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada.

12. I think that the U.S. is a "melting pot" because there are so many different social groups from different religious, ethnic, racial and cultural backgrounds. No other place in the world has such a diverse population.
